Comment (by J.Pilk@…):

 A long time ago I quit using the Qt painter with the intel i915 driver
 under SL7 because the screen collapsed when I played radio
 recordings.'''''' But TV played fine.''''''  When I came back to that box
 it appeared that the xv-blit renderer was selected, although I had no
 memory of choosing it. Maybe the Auto-chosen GL Normal profile takes
 precedence.

 It's now working fine with Qt, although there are very brief video
 glitches perhaps caused by buffer swaps at playback start or when a new
 preview is put up.  I'm still getting the i915 warning messages, often
 after closing the frontend.

 I'll add that I'm using a windowed display on a monitor.  Not clear to me
 how much of the screen is affected by these choices.

 Thanks anyway.
